you were born between 1963 or 1967 you may not have received the live virus, which is the efficacious one. if that's the case, it is recommended you get the vaccine. >> what are the guidelines because it varies depending on age, right? >> exactly. if you're in the pediatric age group between the ages of 12 months and 15 months, you're getting your first shot and then you're getting a second shot between the ages of 4 and 6. if you are a college aged student, you are to get two doses of the vaccine, 28 days apart, and if you're an adult who has never been vaccinated, you're advised to get one shot. i should say, too, cdc has only been recommending since 1989 the two shot series. it's very important to be able to get your vaccination records. that's probably the best evidence that you can show that you've had immunity, and finally, i would say that if you're unclear and there's certain groups like international travel ergers, he personnel, talk to your health
6:12 am
care provider about your status and i recommend going to the cdc web site. it's very informative. >> measles is making a lot of headlines. there's a lot of conversation about flu as well making a comeback, a second wave if you will this season. the cdc putting out its latest numbers. five states with widespread flu, four of them in the northeast, georgia is the fifth. what's happening right now? >> right. so basically you can think of it this way, it's almost like we have had two different back-to-back flu seasons from october to the middle of february, and seeing the predominance of h 1 n 1, which is less strengthening than the one we have seen since mid february, happily we think we're near the end. we are seeing cases going less than the national average as per the last cdc counts. i say this a lot, flu season lasts all yearlong, technically, you can develop flu anytime throughout the year, and we often say in the fall that it can last well into spring, and
6:13 am
we certainly saw that this year. >> really dwikquickly, are thery clues that lead you to know that help you with the vaccine next year. >> they're doing it now. the last i read about it, the w.h.o. was picking their h1n 1 strains, i think they're adding two new ones, but this is the time it's happening. they base this on the experience that we had and what they're seeing in the southern hemispheres now, and that's how they make the decision about what next year's flu vaccine will look like. this is all before we get the universal flu shot which we're all hoping, you know, so we don't have to worry about these strains mutating and losing efficacy. >> dr. natalie azar. thank you as always. coming up, the young piano prodigy who beat the odds to become a viral sensation. become a viral sensation. you're goi ng i'm always going to be a maker. and i think a company is the coolest thing you can build. i'm adam, and i make robots. you never know when inspiration is going to strike.

6:29 am
>> he was a friend. he'd give the shirt right off his back. he pretty much was a great person. >> there was a third deadly shooting just after 2:30 in the afternoon. uc berkeley police believe that shooting was targeted. at 6:29 coming on today in the bay, they made it to commemorate the chinese new year, but it's causing a lot of problems. this postcard that has a local fire department taking a lot of heat and just makes you wonder. we have that with all your top stories and weather coming up at 7:00. right now back to the "today" show.

6:33 am
driving damaging winds, uprooting trees and bringing down power lines across the mid atlantic. hail the size of quarters in the northeast, flooding in ohio, and thunder outside new york. sometimes catching people off guard. >> oh, my lord. >> like these beachgoers in virginia, this twitter user describing the scene, one minute it was nice and the next minute it felt like a hurricane. 900 flights canceled in the u.s. friday and more than 5,000 delayed. the south still picking up the pieces after the violent storm system moved through. >> some of the worst devastation that we have seen to be concentrated. >> reporter: tornadoes flattening homes, snapping power lines and trees. what's different about this year's tornado season is that so called tornado alley has been unusually quiet. instead, the south has seen the brunt of the damage. this week, there were at least eight confirmed tornadoes in louisiana alone. a deadly system carving a path of destruction across several
6:34 am
states. is that storm system is continuing to affect new england right now with the heaviest of the rain through down east maine. that will be the case through the morning and then we'll start to see it slowly move east as we go into the afternoon. once this storm moves through, we are going to see winds gust up to about 50 miles per hour on the backside of it. we have wind advisories in effect for 13 million people. we are going to see all of this rain continue to move to the east in addition to this next round of rain moving through the midwest. heavy rain falling through iowa right now. this will move into northern illinois, and we also have the snow that temperatures are cold enough to support a bit of a snowstorm. we have winter storm warnings in effect for water loo, madison, and chicago right now, and we are going to see this whole event turn into a snowstorm as we go into this evening, as the colder air gets wrapped in. that means snow for chicago later on this evening and tonight. this will move through michigan, through parts of ohio, and even bring some of that snow to new york, especially off lake erie,
6:35 am
and lake ontario. we are going to see a significant amount of snow through northeastern iowa, through northern illinois, southern wisconsin, and also through southern michigan where we could end up with a widespread 2 to 4 inches of snow, and we could see some isolated higher amounts closer to about 6 inches just to the north of chicago. peter. >> dylan, thank you. turning to politics, the president is set to play golf and talk trade with japan's leader as washington, d.c. prepares for tonight's white house correspondence dinner which president trump will skip for the third year in a row. nbc's hans nickel is hols is at white house. >> reporter: we'll have the chance to see if the press has an opportunity to ask president trump about "the washington post" report that rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general pleaded with the president for his job last september. the crux of the post's reporting is that rosenstein told trump that he gave mueller the investigation credibility and
6:36 am
that he could quote land the plane. the question is did he promise trump a specific outcome, because we now know what that outcome is. no criminal conspiracy on collusion in the mueller report, and then rosenstein told william barr, and the two of them looked at the evidence and concluded they shouldn't bring any obstruction of justice charges. the president has been airing his grievances with the mueller report, he claims that it vindicates him but amounted to an attempted coup, he used that language yesterday at the nra and talked about it being a disgrace to our country, it hurt our country in the oval office with prime minister abe yesterday. as you mentioned, it is blustery in washington, the sun is out. the president is going to hit the links with abe and off to green bay with a rally in a state he won in 2016, wisconsin, while much of the press corps at the white house correspondence dinner. another night of counter programming. >> hans, thank you. now to the battle lines being drawn as we speak between

6:50 am
so there have been 21 movies leading up to this moment with end game marking the epic conclusion to the avengers franchise. the film has shattered records, making history as the biggest opening night, early estimates put it at $157 million through friday here in the u.s. that's about $38 million more than star wars, the force awakens, if you can believe it. experts say end game could bring in a monster $300 million this weekend, a feat no other film in box office history can claim. here's the thing, the movie is three hours long which has many people online panicked about bathroom breaks so if you absolutely must get up during the film, fear not, because the fans have you covered tweeting the best times. they are when the san francisco title card displays, when hulk has lunch, and when the new jersey title card comes up. so these all take place within the first three hours or the first half of the three hour
6:51 am
movie. fans are also going to great lengths to avoid spoilers, including one teacher who posted this note outside his classroom, telling students not to discuss anything about the movie anywhere near his classroom. if they do, he'll make them wish thanos snapped them in half. i do recommend seeing the last movie, infinity war before end game, if you just want to catch up so you feel like you're in the right place and you know enough going into end game. i think that will kind of catch you up on the gist of it. don't forget, willie, tomorrow, will be sitting one on one with jeremy renner who plays hawk eye. that's tomorrow on sunday. >> he couldn't say too much about the movie. >> not really at all, especially when we interviewed him. >> we have pop start. >> so much to get to on pop start. put on your 90s best, and brenda walsh is coming back to beverly hills 90210.
